Abstract

An image processing apparatus may create text image data representing a text image using target image data representing a target image including text; and create background image data representing a background image in which a color of the text image in the target image has been changed, using the target image data. The creating of the background image data comprises determining an extended text area in the target image, the extended text area including a text area corresponding to pixels constituting text included in the text image and also including a surrounding area around the text area, and changing a color of the extended text area to a color of a background of the target image. The determining of the extended text area comprises acquiring related information related to a sharpness of the text included in the target image, and determining a size of the surrounding area according to the related information.
